It's Sunday again.....

Well, ummm....I don't really have anything to say, I just feel as though I should update....
I started reading The Shelter of Each Other: Rebuilding Our Families by Mary Pipher, Ph.D. for my book review. It's pretty good so far. I'm kind of hoping to get it read and written sooner than later. Some of these up coming weeks have 5 or 6 chapters assigned for reading....and these books are SO very dry. I am TRYING to keep an open mind, that they will get better now that we are past the introductions. I started the first part of the family case study last night, while Hubby played Gran Turismo 4 (what a fun game! I love watching Hubby play video games for some reason....cuddled on the couch with him and the cat....). I realized that although my mom's family is closer in proximity, we are emotionally closer to my dad's side of the family. I wonder if the fact that my dad's family had to stay together and support each other after his dad left, while my mom's family was divided between my mom and her brother, and her step-mom and the half-siblings. One thing I have to write about is a "big crisis" that occured in the family...how the family worked before, during, and after the event. All I can think of was when my dad lost his job....but I was away at school. All I know is that I left in the fall, came home to unemployed dad at Thanksgiving, and by Easter, my mom was working two jobs and my dad was in school. For me, though, not much changed...I went to school, I worked on breaks....Then that spring my dad got the job at the golf course, and that fall at the sign shop. As far as I was effected, nothing changed. I'll have to talk with my sister, see if she has any insight, since she was still at home during that time. Or I could ask my mom, but I'm afraid she'll bring up that horrible summer with Darth Vader, and I don't really want to re-live all that. I feel like I could write more about the crisises that Hubby and I have had....they definatly would fit the resiliance model! But, I suppose, we are still "young" in the grand scheme of "family."
Blah....babbling right now. Sorry....I've had a headache off and on since last week, Tuesday I think. I slept most of today....got up around 11am. Hubby and I ran to Target around noon. Came home, had lunch, then I read my book for a while. Rory has a thing for books and insists on laying on them, while they are being read. Eventually I gave up trying to hold the book over him and trying to hold it steady when he'd get up to turn around (and around and around). I put the book down and napped. Figured Hubby would wake me up when he came up....nope. He played GT4 all afternoon!!! He never does that! I was impressed :) He did take a couple of pictures of us, although when Rory senses a camera, he perks up to show off :) But, I think we napped for about 3 hours, give or take. I had to get up with the cat fountain started gurgling.
Well, cats want food, laundry needs to be attended to and I need to go to sleep...again :)
